The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes way back into distant history, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. However, sadly, these ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also tells us how the Romans used many different aromatic flavors, including some familiar names for example thyme, fennel and asafoetida. For the decades that followed, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the most extravagent banquests, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
